Steps to reproduce

  1. Log in to EDR on a fresh profile on a biggish account (e.g. bigtestaccount)
  2. After waiting for initial sync, it prompts you to verify the login
  3. Do so by entering your passphrase
  4. Discover the UI has frozen up because the app is tightlooping trying to decrypt the msgs from the initial sync
  5. After about 5 minutes it unfreezes and lets you enter your passphrase, at which point the app calms down given it can resolve the UTDs from your backup.

Operating system

Application version

Actually, it freezes after you hit 'continue' on the 'security phrase' dialog. So presumably hitting 'continue' gets blocked behind whatever the crypto module is doing for minutes on end.

actually, i don't know what's going on here at all. the dialog seemed completely stuck, but then it turned out that it was simply not responding to mouse clicks on the green button. when i used tab-navigation to hit the button it cleared instantly :-/
